Excavation Support

Stabilize unstable soil before you excavate, protecting nearby structures with minimal vibration.

Safe Excavation in Challenging Soil Conditions

When excavation must take place next to existing buildings, roads, utilities, seawalls, or other structures, keeping the surrounding soil stable becomes critical.

Traditional shoring methods such as sheet piling or soldier piles are not always practical. Vibration-sensitive structures, limited access sites, underground utilities, or tight property lines often require a different solution.

Dosdourian Enterprises specializes in excavation support using chemical grouting and other geotechnical techniques that stabilize loose soils before excavation begins. By strengthening the ground in advance, contractors can excavate safely while reducing movement, settlement, and the risk of collapse.

Why Excavation Support Is Necessary

Florida’s sandy soils can become unstable once excavation begins. Without proper ground improvement, excavation can lead to:
Every excavation presents unique geotechnical challenges. Our team evaluates each site and develops the most effective stabilization approach for the project.

Our Excavation Support Solutions

Depending on site conditions, DEI provides several excavation support methods including:

Chemical Grouting

Our patented TERRAGROUT™ system permeates loose granular soils, transforming unstable sand into a solid, rock-like mass. This allows contractors to excavate with significantly improved ground stability while minimizing disturbance to adjacent structures.

Ideal for:

Soil Mixing

For sites requiring shallow ground improvement, our soil mixing equipment blends existing soils with engineered grout to increase strength and reduce settlement.

Applications include:

Integrated Ground Improvement

Many projects benefit from combining multiple systems, including:

Our engineers and field crews work together to determine the safest and most economical solution.

Advantages of Chemical Grouting for Excavation Support

Compared to conventional excavation support methods, chemical grouting can offer significant advantages:

Because the grout permeates the existing soil instead of displacing it, surrounding structures experience far less disturbance than with many traditional excavation support methods.

Typical Applications
